Gatlinburg Storybook Cottage - Stealth Listing

Once in a long while we have sellers who aren't ready or aren't able to actually list but do wish to sell their Gatlinburg real estate anyway. While this is quite a challenge for us, on rare occasions we do try to assist our clients by marketing these stealth listings (they don't show up on the MLS radar). The way that we do this is to utilize as many other methods to get the word out as possible.

This home is a perfect blend of old Gatlinburg charm now with all the comforts of a very modern home, making it a perfect Gatlinburg getaway. Local legend has it that the person who built this home in the early '30's was a young pastor. He traveled to one or more churches that he served in and his bride and children lived with him in a much smaller version of the home. Early on, it was VERY rustic indeed with only a spring (on the property) as a source for their water and a fireplace as the only heat source. Simple living in a great spot just outside of the town which was at that time known as White Oak Flats, later becoming Gatlinburg.

The home today is still charming but but is by no means any longer rustic. Owned by the current owners for 38 years, it has been completely redone with good sized rooms, two porches, and all the modern amenities that we have all come to expect and enjoy.

Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Smoky Mountain Water Wells but were Afraid to Ask!

Unlike more urban communities, many Smoky Mountain homes still have water supplied by individual underground wells. The fact is that only a relatively small (but ever growing) portion of our area is served by municipal utility water. This is rarely a problem as wells here in the Gatlinburg and surrounding area usually produce clear and good tasting water for significantly less cost than utility water once the one-time expense of drilling the well is covered. In fact, while there are certainly exceptions, our area is known for exceptionally clean and good tasting well water. More than one brand of bottled water is actually drawn from underground sources right here in the Smokies. What can go wrong you ask? Unfortunately, plenty! In those relatively rare cases where a well’s iron or sulfur content causes the water to be unsuitable, a water filtration system can generally be installed to remedy the situation. Water filtration can be as basic as a very inexpensive cotton string filter th

I have had this blog since 2003 but didn't really get serious about regularly writing here until the beginning of 2007. I do truly enjoy the opportunity to share my thoughts about our local Gatlinburg area real estate market including the surrounding communities of Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, Seymour, Kodak, and Cosby. The only problem with writing any type of blog is that you really aren't sure just how many people are reading much less care about what you are pontificating about. If you are reading this blog, regularly or for the very first time, PLEASE comment me. It's easy, painless, and won't leave any sort of mark. In fact, you can even remain totally anonymous but yet let me know that you are out there. Like the age old question of "If a tree falls in the forest with nobody there to hear, does it make a noise?", a blog writer could wonder "If I write something meaningful but nobody reads it, does it matter?". If you like, you can even tel
